Anders Kaseorg 517ddbc9e6 setup-advanced: Remove misleading python3 symlink suggestion.
One should never have to manually symlink things in /usr/bin,
especially with -f.  That should be managed by the system package
manager.  Indeed, on CentOS 7 and 8, one can simply install the
python3 package and get a working /usr/bin/python3.

Alex Vandiver 01e8f752a8 puppet: Use certbot package timer, not our own cron job.
The certbot package installs its own systemd timer (and cron job,
which disabled itself if systemd is enabled) which updates
certificates.  This process races with the cron job which Zulip
installs -- the only difference being that Zulip respects the
`certbot.auto_renew` setting, and that it passes the deploy hook.
This means that occasionally nginx would not be reloaded, when the
systemd timer caught the expiration first.

Remove the custom cron job and `certbot-maybe-renew` script, and
reconfigure certbot to always reload nginx after deploying, using
certbot directory hooks.

Since `certbot.auto_renew` can't have an effect, remove the setting.
In turn, this removes the need for `--no-zulip-conf` to
`setup-certbot`.  `--deploy-hook` is similarly removed, as running
deploy hooks to restart nginx is now the default; pass
`--no-directory-hooks` in standalone mode to not attempt to reload
nginx.  The other property of `--deploy-hook`, of skipping symlinking
into place, is given its own flog.

YashRE42 40444cf415 docs: Update all links to Django docs to point to version /3.2/.
Previously, our docs had links to various versions of the Django docs,
eg https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/topics/migrations/ and
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/ref/signals/#post-save, opening
a link to a doc with an outdated Django version would show a warning
"This document is for an insecure version of Django that is no longer
supported. Please upgrade to a newer release!".

This commit uses a search with the regex
"docs.djangoproject.com/en/([0-9].[0-9]*)/" and replaces all matches
inside the /docs/ folder with "docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.2/".

All the new links in this commit have been generated by the above
replace and each link has then been manually checked to ensure that
(1) the page still exists and has not been moved to a new location
(and it has been found that no page has been moved like this), (2)
that the anchor that we're linking to has not been changed (and it has
been found that this happened once, for https://docs.djangoproject.com
/en/1.8/ref/django-admin/#runserver-port-or-address-port, where
/#runserver-port-or-address-port was changed to /#runserver).

YashRE42 87dd2a15c2 docs: Re-add accidentally deleted link definitions in advanced setup.
In commit f6c78a35a4 we accidentally
deleted these link definitions, probably thinking that the end of the
markdown file would be the same as the end of the rendered doc. This
broke the links `[cloning your fork of the Zulip
repository][zulip-rtd-git-cloning]` and `[connecting the Zulip
upstream repository][zulip-rtd-git-connect]`.

This commit fixes things by adding back the definitions.

AEsping 6963876e22 docs: Update instructions for Windows 10 installation.
This commit includes the following changes.
- Adds the definition of the WSL acronym.
- Adds information for changing BIOS settings
in order to enable machine virtulization.
- Fixes a broken link to Microsoft WSL installation instructions.
- Adds a reminder to create a new SSH key before connecting to
GitHub.
- Removes the step to install Ubuntu.  This step is now
included in the standard installation.
- Reminds the user to launch Ubuntu as and administrator.
- Switches the text editor in the example to nano from vim.
Nano is included with the wsl installation, and is easier for
most people to use than vim.
- Adds a separate step to fork the Zulip/Zulip repository.
- Adds the bash command to open VS Code and
reminds the user to install the relevant extensions.

With various formatting tweaks by tabbott.

YashRE42 f6c78a35a4 docs: Remove AWS Cloud9 setup instructions.
Due to the fact that it's not possible to run the development
environment on a t2.micro (1 GiB RAM + 1 vCPU), which is what is
available from the free tier, the fact that signing up require a
credit/debit card and can take up to 24 hours, and that it is quite
easy to unintentionally exceed the free tier resources when expanding
or upgrading, it is no longer feasible to develop on cloud9. As such,
we should not recommend it in out setup docs.
